Rosary Reflections ~ The Crucifixion

To read the introduction post that explains what I have used these images for, please click here.

The Crucifixion is the last of the Sorrowful Mysteries and we have discovered in the using the slideshow that you are left looking at the last image of the last mystery, as you recite the Hail Holy Queen. So I decided to add one more picture to the slideshow, so that as we recite the Hail Holy Queen we are looking at a beautiful image of Our Lady. I've tried to find images with Our Lady holding the rosary or something similar. This new edition has worked really well in our home.

So below you will notice there are four images of Our Lady of the Rosary, one in each folder of images.

THE FIFTH SORROWFUL MYSTERY

THE CRUCIFIXION

Folder One

Jesus speaks to St Dismas, the good thief: "Today, you will be with me in Paradise!"

Jesus is taken down from the cross.

The Lamentation.

Our Lady of the Rosary, crowning faithful rosary devotees with the wreaths of roses that represent their prayers. This last image is for the recitation of the Hail Holy Queen, so my Irfanview slideshow contains six images instead of the normal five, for this mystery.

Folder Two

Behind the clouds, the blood red moon is rising...

The blood red moon in the background.

The eclipse taking place to create the blood red moon at Our Lord's crucifixion. Longinus the centurion pierces the side of Our Lord.

The Lamentation.

Our Lady of the Rosary, with the Dominican order below, Our Lady and the angels distribute rosary beads to them. This last image is for the recitation of the Hail Holy Queen, so my Irfanview slideshow contains six images instead of the normal five, for this mystery.

Folder Three

I.N.R.I "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews"

Again, the eclipse taking place creating the blood red moon in the left corner. Longinus the centurion, piercing the side of Our Lord.

Stained glass window scene of St Dominic receiving the rosary from Our Lady. This last image is for the recitation of the Hail Holy Queen, so my Irfanview slideshow contains six images instead of the normal five, for this mystery.
